Lena Dunham And The Cast Of Girls Support Stanford Rape Victim With Sexual Assault PSA

Posted on Thu Jun 9th, 2016 11:45am PDT       By X17 Staff




The cast of Girls, Lena Dunham, Allison Williams, Jemima Kirke, and Zosia Mamet, released a PSA calls out sexual assault after the Brock Turner, a Standard University athlete, was convicted of the 2015 rape of an unconscious woman.

Lena posted the somber PSA to her Twitter account and wrote, "I dedicate this to the brave survivor in the Stanford case who has given so much to change the conversation."

In the video, Jemima says, “We may star on ‘Girls’ together, but that doesn’t mean we always agree. But there is one issue on which we are in total agreement.” The cast then shares startling facts about sexual assaults, including the fact that, “one in five women will be sexually assaulted during her lifetime."

Instead of receiving a six-year sentence, Brock Turner was ordered to serve a six-month sentence in county jail. Judge Aaron Persky believed a longer sentence would have a “severe impact on him.”

Following the sentencing, the unnamed victim read a letter to her attacker, saying, “This is not a story of another drunk college hook-­up with poor decision-making."

She continued, “He has done irreversible damage to me and my family during the trial and we have sat silently, listening to him shape the evening. But in the end, his unsupported statements and his attorney’s twisted logic fooled no one. The truth won, the truth spoke for itself.”

We are glad to see so many strong women speaking up on this sad truth ...

 

Report: Caitlyn Jenner Is Looking For A Surrogate To Carry Her Baby

Posted on Thu Jun 9th, 2016 10:00am PDT       By X17 Staff


Huh?!

Word on the street is that Caitlyn Jenner is looking for a surrogate to have another child, reports RadarOnline.com.

The 66-year-old is already the father six but apparently wants more …

A source tells the publication, "Caitlyn Jenner has informed those close to her that she’s started the hunt for a surrogate!"

“She doesn’t want to completely freak out the whole family, but her own children are totally behind the idea,” added the insider.

The outlet previously reported that the Olympian was considering adopting but has decided to go the surrogacy route.

“Cait has her heart set on another child because she wants to be as actively involved in the pregnancy as possible from day one,” said the insider, who also claims that the desire for another child has partially been sparked by the excitement of living life as a woman -- especially since all of her kids are grown up.

The insider explained, “She’s suffering from the empty nest syndrome and she really wants to experience parenting from a mother’s perspective."

Having a child at the age of 66 seems pretty selfish if you ask us, but it seems as though Caitlyn has been all about doing things for just Caitlyn for a while ...

 

Jennifer Garner Looks Pregnant Even Though Reports Claim She's Not Calling Off Divorce From Ben Affleck

Posted on Thu Jun 9th, 2016 9:15am PDT       By X17 Staff


if you work in entertainment news, you're always on bump watch!

Jennifer Garner dropped by the Brentwood Country Mart yesterday with son Samuel, and we couldn't help but notice that the actress' mid-section seemed noticeably fuller.

She's super skinny and fit everywhere else, so it makes us wonder... is there some truth to those persistent pregnancy rumors? It's been over a year since she and Ben Affleck announced they were calling it quits, and rumors of reconciliation have been swirling for months given how much time the estranged pair spend together.

We guess it depends on who we're listening to, though!

A pal of the mother-of-three recently told People she isn't second guessing the divorce. "She seems adamant about going through with it," the insider dished. [Jen] denies that she is back with Ben. She actually almost laughs when asked," the source added.

We guess it's a good thing the Batman actor has his bestie Matt Damon as a shoulder to cry on. The Boston hunk paid tribute to his closest friend on Instagram with a throwback photo for National Best Friends Day, and it's pretty much the best thing ever!

 

Madonna Finally Met Barack Obama And Of Course She Made It About Her

Posted on Thu Jun 9th, 2016 8:30am PDT       By X17 Staff


Madonna finally met President Barack Obama and she totally made it about her -- surprise!

The Material Girl met the commander-in-chief during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday night -- and was quick to post the meeting on Instagram (of course we lave that Madge is front and center and Obama is blurry!).

Along with the snap, the 57-year-old wrote, "For Once I'm Speechless...........President Obama 🇺🇸 @jimmyfallon."

In the image, Madonna trades in her tiny, sexed-up ensembles for a more conservative black shirt, pants and tie. We kind of like her this way!

Last year, the songstress told Us Weekly, that she had her eye on meeting the pres. She told the mag, "The person I most want to meet is President Obama. When the heck am I going to meet him? He just needs to invite me to the White House already. He probably thinks I’m too shocking to be there. I’m serious. If I was a little bit more demure … or if I was just married to Jay Z. Hey, if Jay would only take me as his second wife, then I’d score an invitation."

Doesn't look like she got an invite -- but she definitely did get to finally meet Obama!

Check out Obama and Madonna on the very special episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, which airs tonight on NBC.

 

Who Knew Kourtney Kardashian And Lindsay Lohan Were Friends?

Posted on Thu Jun 9th, 2016 8:05am PDT       By X17 Staff


Low key besties!

Kourtney Kardashian and Lindsay Lohan grabbed dinner last night in London, and we kind of forgot they even knew each other! Then we remembered that Lilo has a lot of connections to the K clan and it made a lot more sense.

Kim styled the rehabbed redhead before she skyrocketed to reality TV fame, and the Parent Trap star attended her wedding to Kris Humphries. There's also the fact that Kourt's best friend Courtenay Semel dated the former child star for a hot minute back in the day.

Guess who else tagged along for the outing? Lohan's fiance Egor Tarabasov!

 

Khloe Kardashian's Cleavage Is Out Of Control During Lunch Date With Mom Kris Jenner

Posted on Thu Jun 9th, 2016 7:00am PDT       By X17 Staff


Khloe Kardashian went to lunch with mom Kris Jenner at Casa Vega in Sherman Oaks on Wednesday, and the reality starlet looked incredible in a nude corset, jeans, a pink duster and pink Tom Ford padlock pumps. Best dressed Kardashian-Jenner family member we've seen all week!

And now here's the most hilarious Kardashian-Jenner news we've seen all week. Khloe appears on the latest cover of Life & Style with the headline, “Khloe’s Big Announcement: I’m Having a Baby! Who’s the Daddy?” and images of five potential fathers: Odell Beckham Jr., French Montana, James Harden, Lamar Odom and Scott Disick. Wait, what's LD doing in the lineup? Apparently he thought it was just as funny as we did, because he re-posted a shot of the cover on Instagram and wrote, “Got my fingers crossed!”

So what about Odell Beckham Jr.? Though Khloe was linked to the NFL star over Memorial Day weekend, a source told Us Weekly the two are just friends. “They’re not dating,” a source told the mag. “They were just flirting at a party.”

 

The Weeknd Flaunts A Fancy Bag At The Airport

Posted on Thu Jun 9th, 2016 6:30am PDT       By X17 Staff


The Weeknd may have covered up his hair with a hoodie, but he had no problem showing off his fancy Goyard bag when we snapped him strolling through Los Angeles International Airport on Wednesday. This tote probably cost more money than one of girlfriend Bella Hadid's designer purses!

The 26-year-old R&B singer wore a sweatsuit and tried to maintain a low profile after touching down in L.A., but photogs quickly surrounded him and peppered him with questions about Bella...and Muhammad Ali. While Bella's sister Gigi recently broke up (and subsequently got back together) with boyfriend Zayn Malik, Bella and her steady beau haven't had any relationship drama since they started dating last year. His songs may paint the picture of him being a hard partying player, but it certainly seems like he's quite the opposite with his lady love...

It was recently confirmed that The Weeknd will headline this year's Voodoo Festival in New Orleans, along with Tool, Arcade Fire and Band of Horses. Good times!

 

Scott Disick And A Camera Shy Rob Kardashian Bro Out Over A Fancy Dinner

Posted on Thu Jun 9th, 2016 6:00am PDT       By X17 Staff


Scott Disick may not be with Kourtney Kardashian anymore, but he's still pretty tight with the family. Either that or he's getting paid a ton of money to keep up with appearances for Keeping Up With The Kardashians!

On Wednesday Scott and Rob Kardashian were snapped getting out of Scott's black Rolls Royce at the Montage Hotel in Beverly Hills, where they grabbed an early dinner together. Scott went for a clean and casual look, and while Rob showed off his dramatically slimmer body, he didn't feel the need to dress up. In fact, it looks like the sock designer actually came straight from the gym!

Oh, what we wouldn't give to find out what these two were talking about! Perhaps Scott was giving dad-to-be Rob some parenting tricks? Seeing as he has three kids with Kourt, he has to have learned a few tricks over the years...
